St. Paul was established by the Archdiocese of Hartford in 1966, to provide Catholic secondary education in the greater Bristol region.

The school originally had a staff consisting of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Chambery, Religious Sisters Filippini, and lay faculty under the direction of the founding principal, Rev. Edmund M. O’Brien, whose youthful charismatic leadership is remembered and respected to this day.

In June of 1970, St. Paul graduated its first class and now the school can count over 7,000 graduates.
